Review: SILKYGIRL Perfect Sharp Eyeliner & Matte Junkie Lip Cream

10:22 AM

When it comes to make up, I'd say eyeliners
and lipsticks are quite an essential item for me and something I'll always need!
I have dull lips and so a suitable lipstick will definitely add a pop of colour
to my entire outfit and make me look awake. Drawing eyeliner instantly
completes my look in one simple step on day I feel super lazy to put on
anything else hahaha!

SILKYGIRL recently launched a refined
version of the Perfect Sharp eyeliner that takes on an improved formula! When I
first received the eyeliners, I was like "WHAAAAT am I supposed to draw
pink eyeliners???!!!" Hahahaha okay but no really, the pink cap is just part
of the packaging! The eyeliner is available in black (:

I've been using liquid eyeliners for the past 6 years and I really like these pen-tip liquid eyeliners in general
because of its sharp precision and full control I get. The Perfect Sharp eyeliner's
brush tip runs really smoothly on my eyelids and the colour pay off is great
too!

I also tried lining my lower eyelids with the Perfect Sharp eyeliner
just to test if it really was that precise and gave a good colour pay off. It's
actually my first time lining my lower eyelids with a liquid eyeliner without
it smudging almost immediately!!! Quite impressed really, and it stayed this
way for a good couple of hours at least :)

In addition to the Perfect Sharp eyeliners, SILKYGIRL also recently
launched their new range of lip colours -- the Matte Junkie Lip Cream.

If there is one beauty trend that I have
observed this year, it's the craze over matte lip colours... just like how
every girl was so into the gradient lip trend last year! Of course, being vain
that I am (or might be? haha), I also wanted to land my hands on some of the
trending matte lip products but I was way too lazy to figure out how to go
about doing all the overseas shipping, etc.. lol

Thankfully, many brands available in Singapore
caught up with the trend quickly and here I am, being able to join in the matte
lip craze!!!

The Matte Junkie Lip Cream comes in 5 different
shades:

These are the initial swatches on my
forearms and they look pretty decent, aye? Well, I haven't tried on any other
matte lip sticks/creams so there, I can't do a comparison, but I'll just give a
review on my first impressions of the products (:

FYI, I'm really super tanned so while many
of the lip colours available in the market here suits and look good on the
(relatively) fair skin toned girls, they may not really look as suitable for
tanned girls :( I've swatched the 5 shades on my lips to see which shade will
suit the tanned skin best!

My lips are usually super chapped and dry
and the above swatches were done without any prior application of any lipbalm
to help "prep" the lips, so I guess it does a pretty decent job in
living up to the non-drying formula that it claims.

I actually really like how shade 05 adds
all the oomph I need in my make-up. Since I rely quite heavily on my lip
colours to complete my look!

Also, I tried the "transfer" test
using shade 05 since it is the brightest, hence if any transfer happens, it's
the most obvious too. SURPRISINGLY, NOTHING TRANSFERRED OVER!!! I swear I did
not change tissue paper. It's the same piece LOL.

Before I forget, both the Matte Junkie Lip
Cream & the Perfect Sharp Eyeliner are fragrance and paraben free. The
Matte Junkie Lip Cream is also carmine-free!

Personally, the Perfect Sharp eyeliner is
definitely something that I'd incorporate into my make up routine while for a
tanned person like me, shade 01 and shade 05 for the Matte Junkie Lip Cream are
the ones I'd re-purchase again!
